Micro- organisms which are sufficiently virulent may destroy this barrier. Factors which may contribute to this are decreased host resistance, surgery or repeated movement of fracture segments, as may occur with an untreated fracture. Mechanical trauma burnishes the bone, causing ischemia by crushing blood vessels and seeds micro-organisms into the tissues.

The line of tall, blond soldiers forms a naturalist allegorical frieze, with connotations of a religious procession.

Porter Lara uses techniques based on those that Mata Ortiz potters have used to create vessels in the region over 2,000 years ago. She harvests raw clay from the earth in central New Mexico, then processes it, by slaking, filtering, and drying it to a workable state. She builds the vessels with clay coils, burnishes the pieces with a polishing stone, then uses the reduction firing process in a backyard pit. Her inspiration for the black burnished vessels appeared on a trip with the Land Arts of the American West program to southeastern Arizona and northern Mexico.

With 'Prodigy,' Lu proves that a Book Two needn't play second fiddle, providing intrigue and deep pleasure all its own."Sara Scribner, "In 'Prodigy,' Marie Lu burnishes her 'Legend' series," The Los Angeles Times, 24 January 2013.

"I couldn’t have did this, this must be a dream," Helen Morgan says of her crime; by the end of this deeply sad, sensuous portrait, you almost think it was." In the Wall Street Journal, film critic Joe Morgenstern wrote in his review that "Musicians sometimes paraphrase Debussy, or one another, in saying that music is the silence between the notes. "I Called Him Morgan" has it all—the notes and the silence, plus the music of spoken language, pitched in rueful tones of recollection." And in the Village Voice critic Alan Scherstuhl notes: "It’s fitting that one of the great films about jazz centers on the re-creation of a moment.
